Photographered on the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Tutuilla, Oregon, at the home of Anna and Katie Harris (non-treaty Nez Perce and Karuk, enrolled Cayuse and Umatilla Natives).Among the models are the sisters’ gorgeous leopard Appaloosa horses, brothers Ollocot and Thunder, descendants of the horses their ancestors rode.

“We grew up with them. They were side by side with us during some of our most formative years. To say that we love them would be an understatement,” says Anna Harris on the importance of them being part of the shoot for a collection rooted in culture and tradition. “Our two different peoples’ are connected throughout the generations, our homeland, our blood—we even share a similar historical trauma. And that’s a connection that is rare between two people, let alone two species.”
